If those two sound a bit too sweet for
your liking, Coconut Macaroon offers a lighter, less heady scent while
Raspberry and Rose is the perfect fruity/floral combination.

The Bath and shower crèmes cost £2.99 each
so you can enjoy trying them all without breaking the bank.

I reckon they may already have a bit
of a cult following, certainly in Essex, as I always struggle to find more than
one or two bottles of each variety left in my Superdrug and a lot of the time,
they’re sold out entirely!

Popstar and part time diva (allegedly!) Ariana Grande is the latest
celeb to announce that they’ll be launching their own fragrance.

Due for release this September, Ariana
says;

My fans have been
asking me to do a fragrance for a while so I am beyond excited to share this
with them, to be able to express my creativity in this new way, and also
incredibly grateful to have partnered with LUXE Brands

Maybe I’ve been living in a hole or something, but hasn’t she only had
like 3 songs out? There was me thinking
that stars had to climb their way up the ladder before reaching the dizzying
heights of fragrance launches, but it seems that even newcomers are giving it a
go these days.

Did this news surprise you, or am I totally in the dark ages and have
missed her epic rise to super stardom?

It’s the kind
of exfoliator that is perfect for delicate skin like mine, which doesn’t react
well to harsh, abrasive products.

This water
activated enzyme micro-powder gently exfoliates to leave your skin feeling soft
and polished. You’d never know to look at it, but this wonder powder is packed
full of some seriously powerful skincare ingredients designed to brighten your
skin and restore its natural radiance.

Bamboo Extract: This super fine exfoliant is
extremely gentle on skin but is effective thanks to it being rich in silica, an
essential element known for its acne and wrinkle fighting properties.

Rice
bran powder: It gently exfoliates and is said to help prevent
wrinkles, heal blemishes and absorb dirt and oil from pores as well as
moisturize your skin.

Okinawa
red algae: Red algae is a vital source of Beterhelin, a natural polysaccharide
that promotes the skin’s barrier function and enhances moisture retention,
along with free radical-scavenging properties, a key element for skin exposed
to damaging sun rays.

Hyaluronic
acid: A
natural substance y that helps to hydrate skin and stimulate production of
collagen.

Bromelain: These enzymes are essential to
maintain good health and skin. Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes found
naturally in the juice and stems of pineapples. Bromelain used in skin
care treatments is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and is very effective in gently
removing dead cells by chemical exfoliation, on the surface of the
skin. Enzymatic activity destroys the keratin of dead cells and debris,
allowing skin to breathe.

Well I’m very
impressed indeed.

The powder is
scentless and transforms into a gentle foam when it mixes with water. I like
the consistency to be really foamy to ensure a super gentle cleanse. You can’t
even feel the powder exfoliating your skin, unlike other grainier exfoliators.

It feels like
a frothy cleanser and rinses off to leave your skin feeling soft and supple,
without a hint of dryness.

My one pet
peeve is the size of the dispenser hole, which I thought was pretty huge.

I’m
fairly heavy handed so every time I went to dispense some product I ended up
with enough to exfoliate my whole body in my hand, but to be fair, that’s not really
much of a criticism and is almost certainly down to my big old heavy man hands!

Indeed Labs
Facial Powdered Exfoliator is available now from Boots and costs £18.99.
